50th Birthday Celebrations - 03 | Sai Prem Vahini | Special Video Series | Radio Sai Telugu

A Golden Jubilee is always a landmark event. But when associated with the Avatar of the Age, it becomes historic and monumental. The 50th Birthday celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba was an enchanting 10-day festival starting with the All-India Sevadal conference and culminating with the grand ‘swing-festival’ or Jhoola Utsav. Packed in between were two more conferences, a holy fire-sacrifice - the Purushottama Yajna, the debut of the chariot festival - the Rathotsavam, the inaugurations of a grand entrance for Prasanthi Nilayam - the Gopuram and of the global symbol of the unity of religions - the pillar called the Sarva Dharma Aikya Stoopa. Of course, the highlight was the unforgettable darshan that Swami granted from a helicopter.
